On the sixth day of the May Day holiday, when the players had just killed Queen May, Xia Shan was working overtime in the company.
As the second batch of players who were qualified to play, Xia Shan was a nobody compared to those big players who beat up the five knights and Queen May in the battle of the godhead.
To this day, Xia Shan is still working hard to save enough gold coins to upgrade her manor in the game. As for what Queen May looks like, Xia Shan has never seen her in the game.
When I was browsing Weibo and forums every day, I occasionally saw some beautiful pictures of Queen May posted by some game bloggers.
"Wow, wow, I really want to lie in Sister Freya's arms and seek comfort."
Xia Shan picked up the coffee and took a sip. This was her fourth day of overtime. If it weren't for the generous overtime pay, she would not have stayed in the company to modify the code.
"The server is open, the server is open, the server is open!"
The Tiangong No. 13 pet robot at the side suddenly spoke and kept repeating these three words. This was the alarm function set by Xia Shan to remind Xia Shan the time for the game to be launched.
"Is the server open?" Xia Shan immediately put down the coffee cup in her hand and picked up the VR helmet next to her.
The advantage of working in this company is that... I can use the legitimate excuse of "program testing" to get away with playing games.
"Please load faster! The company's computer is really terrible!"
Xia Shan put on the VR helmet and found herself stuck on the game loading page for a long time. It was incredible that the company's crappy VR equipment could run the game, and Xia Shan couldn't ask for too much.
What really made Xia Shan anxious was that she had also watched the two CGs released on the official website. The first CG was okay, but the second CG, "Capernaum", made Xia Shan so anxious that she wanted to move the computer case to talk to Tiangong-13, or talk to some planners behind Tiangong-13.
Now Xia Shan really finds it hard to believe that this game was made by Tiangong 13, or maybe... the characters in this game actually have their own ideas
This thought made Xia Shan even more anxious, that is, her puppet girl really had her own ideas, and now the puppet girl was trapped in a forest full of monsters!
The game's updated resources were quickly downloaded. Xia Shan closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, she was already at the entrance of the Cathedral of the Resurrected in Lionheart City.
At this time, the entrance of the cathedral was already surrounded by players who had just logged on. This grand scene was comparable to when the server was first launched... No, there wasn't such a grand scene when the server was first launched.
"Fuck! My wife is missing. Have you seen my wife? Such a beautiful wife was still in the church before the maintenance. Is there a bug?"
"Didn't you see the new CG? The puppet girl was chased by the cult and fell into another world."
"Don't talk about that CG anymore. It makes me angry. Damn it! Lionheart City doesn't allow the killing of guards."
Xia Shan listened to the wailing of the players at the door of the Resurrection Cathedral, and she walked into the Resurrection Cathedral with a heavy heart.
The discussions of other players outside gradually disappeared as Xia Shan stepped into the map of the Resurrection Cathedral. The entire church was so quiet that Xia Shan felt a little scary.
Although she was a nobody and a rookie player in the game, Xia Shan's level had reached 50. In order to earn money to buy a manor, she also participated in the battle of the godhood, but she was just killing zombie soldiers on the edge of the battle of the godhood.
The seven bosses in the battle of the godhead were nightmare-level monsters that she dared not even imagine, but fortunately, Xia Shan finally got a fragment of the godhead and completed the plot of the battle of the godhead.
At that time, Xia Shan was still very grateful that she could pick up a fragment of the divine nature for free, but now Xia Shan is not grateful at all.
As expected, Freya was not there.
Xia Shan walked into the silent church. Usually when Xia Shan entered the church, Freya would greet her with a "You are back."
Now the whole church is empty... so quiet that Xia Shan finds it a little scary.
"What is this?" Xia Shan saw something glowing on the ground. She walked up the stairs and found a line of magical words on the ground.
Xia Shan reached out and wiped away the dust on the ground, and saw the content of the line of text clearly.
'do not worry.'
"Left by Freya?" The next second after Xia Shan saw this line of text clearly, a main task popped up directly.
'Main quest: Follow the trail, quest description: Freya seems to have left the Cathedral of the Resurrected, but the aura of the inscription symbols she left behind has extended to the vicinity of the Trial Tower. Perhaps you can go there to look for her.'
It is indeed the new main line. This means the teleportation point of the new map is in the Tower of Trials.
After Xia Shan confirmed this, she no longer lingered on the view of the Resurrection Cathedral. She walked out of the Resurrection Cathedral quickly.
Outside the cathedral, there was still a group of players who were planning to team up to fight the cult. Xia Shan ignored them...but she met an acquaintance at the end of the road.
"Let's form a team?" Jiang Qiao saw Xia Shan and waved at her.
"Hello, boss."
Xia Shan and Jiang Qiao have been friends for half a month, but she still seems a little reserved when communicating with Jiang Qiao.
The main reason was that Jiang Qiao rarely took Xia Shan out to play, and their normal communication was limited to Xia Shan asking Jiang Qiao about strategies.
"Can I still be considered a big shot now?" Jiang Qiao pointed at the level next to Xia Shan's ID. She was already a level 50 mechanic. Although she had not yet completed the awakening mission, as a level 50 player, she could already be considered a big shot who could stand on her own.
"Of course it counts! Boss, you have already graduated from the Black Dragon's Lair, but I'm still playing the normal difficulty dungeon." Xia Shan's little head kept nodding. Jiang Qiao was wearing the Dragon Extinguishing Set, the best summoner equipment produced in the Black Dragon's Lair.
Mechanic is also a summoner-type profession. You need at least three sets of Dragon Extinguishing equipment to show off on the forum and say, "Call me husband and I'll take you to a team fight!"
Jiang Qiao was the kind of player who would stand at the entrance of a dungeon and a group of people would rush over and say, "Boss, please take me to the dungeon." And the pixel glasses on Jiang Qiao's face, Xia Shan remembered that this costume was also very precious.
"Okay, do you want to play the new map together?" Jiang Qiao got all this equipment from the Leaping Nuclear Guild. Jiang Qiao was really a pure idler in the guild team. It was Zhao Mingwei who helped Jiang Qiao get the equipment.
"Is my output enough?" Xia Shan was still very nervous. She could only survive the battle of the godhead by barely getting by.
The main reason is that Xia Shan doesn't like the fighting part very much and is not very diligent in going to dungeons. She spends half of her time improving her combat level and the other half on improving her living level.
"I looked at the strategy guide on the official website. This new map shouldn't require output. By the way, what's your current level of alchemy engineering? No...how many life skills have you learned?" Jiang Qiao asked.
The life skill tree is also very complex. A life profession can learn multiple life skills. For example, an alchemist can learn construction engineering, mechanical engineering, goblin engineering, etc.
"My mechanical engineering and construction engineering are almost at the master level. The blueprints made in goblin engineering are all bombs that I'm not very interested in. I also have another life profession as an architect. With these two life professions combined, my construction engineering and mechanical engineering will improve very quickly." Xia Shan became much more confident when she said this. After all, this is her specialty.
Each player can choose two to three life professions. The life professions themselves do not limit the player's life skill improvement, but the corresponding life professions will have a bonus to the life skills in the professional field.
For example, a chef player can also study mechanical engineering, but the learning speed is much lower than that of a player who is an alchemist engineer. Therefore, when most players choose a life profession, they will at least choose a profession in the same field.
The gameplay of each life profession is also different, a bit like a collection of various mini-games, and the rewards obtained in these mini-games can play a role in the Holy Spirit... The alchemist engineer chosen by Xia Shan is probably a bit like a puzzle game.
However, as the saying goes, a goblin engineer who doesn't want to be a cook is not a good pharmacist. The construction system has endless potential, and Jiang Qiao is looking forward to what wonderful things they will create.
